According to IMDB, Heaven's Gate was originally budgetted at $11 million. The movie came in over $40 million (not adjusted for inflation). The original cut was 5 hours long and was trimmed down to a little over 3 hours. All told , the film grossed $5 million. Also interesting was that this was the movie with so many proven instances of animal cruelty that it became mandatory for all future films to submit to animal rights regulations.

Cleopatra very nearly destroyed Fox until Darryl F Zanuck took control and went off to make one of the greatest war films of all time the Longest Day. Fox made their money back with Star Wars anyway! Is it me or do most of these 10 movies suck?

I've read of a $258 mil budget, but where did you get the $200 mil for advertising? I'm not denying that's how much it was (I saw a commercial every 10 min for about 2 weeks straight), just curious what the source is.

There are 3 answers to it: 258 + 242 = 500 300 + 200 = 500 250 + 250 = 500
